The NECA Gremlins 2 pack, from Gremlins 2: The New Batch, had been fully unveiled ahead of a planned March 2022 release. The set brings us two individual Gremlins from The New Batch, one brown and one green, along with a bunch of demolition-themed accessories. While not necessarily seen on screen, the set is inspired by the Gremlin's plans for New York when they escaped the Clamp Tower and includes plans for blowing up the Statue of Liberty. There are also bombs, plungers, TNT, dynamite, mallet, and a can of beer. Each Gremlins has alternative hands, and the set also includes a hard hat, soft goods t-shirt, and jean sleeveless jacket. The Gremlins are back, and this time they've taken control of a New York City media mogul's high-tech skyscraper! These two 7" scale, fully articulated Gremlins figures (approximately 6" tall) are examples of what happens when you get a Mogwai wet. From the sequel movie Gremlins 2: The New Batch, they're fully equipped to wreak havoc, with barrel, mallet, bomb, can, dynamite, dynamite plunger, interchangeable hands, hard hat, and fabric tee and jean vest. Window box packaging.

Iron Studios have revealed a new 1/10 Art Scale line of statues for Marvel, the Unleashed collection. This new premium line of statues "elevates the scale 1/10 to a new standard of excellence never seen before in a figure of these proportions". The new line will launch with Thor, as voted for by Iron Studios collectors. Thor is sculpted in his iconic winged helmet, with a flowing red cape and Mjolnir in hand. He stands on a base that includes Nordic runes and sitting just to the side of Thor is Throg. The statue is scheduled as a Q2 release in 2022 (April - June) Created with extreme care and attention, rigorously faithful to the smallest details to achieve maximum prominence in the collection, Iron Studios proudly presents its first statue in the high-quality line, Unleashed Deluxe Art Scale. This new line elevates the scale 1/10 to a new standard of excellence never seen before in a figure of these proportions. The base of the statue is full of details, such as stones and Nordic runes, the original symbol of the hammer Mjölnir, as in Viking culture depicted around the base. There is also an image of the giant snake that surrounds the world, Jormungand, and a warrior's face, with a texture reminiscent of wood carvings. The statue, "Thor Unleashed Deluxe - Art Scale 1/10 - Marvel Comics - Iron Studios", features the imposing Thunder God, leaning on the cracked rocks of a battlefield and wielding his mystic hammer with the inscriptions of the enchantments created by his father, Odin. Next to him is the blue energy effect that simulates an open dimensional portal, which reveals the peculiar small figure of Throg, the variant version of the hero in the form of a frog, holding his Frogjolnir hammer, a miniature version created from a sliver of Mjolnir. Meticulously detailed in the textures of his costume, in the sewings and adornments, the statue has a red cape made of fabric with inlaid wires for an even more realistic and dynamic shape. Chosen by the public through a poll as the first Marvel character in the line, Thor Unleashed Deluxe presents the Thunder God in a stylized format, inspired by the hero's most contemporary comics, with a rustic visual aspect, influenced even more by Nordic culture. Created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1962, Thor is the prince of Asgard, a world from a parallel dimension above Earth. Son of Odin, he was arrogant and impulsive so that he could learn the virtue of humility he was sent to Earth as a human by his father, without the memories of his origin. As soon as he completed his mission on Earth, he would have his powers and memory back. Thor is one of the founding members of the Avengers and one of Marvel's most powerful heroes. Revealed firsthand at the monthly Inside Iron Studios Day event on YouTube, Iron Studios fulfills, with this release, the desire of fans and collectors, with the choice of character, presenting the evolution of creation and development on a 1/10 scale. Pre-order now this statue that lives up to the Deluxe in its description.

This set of The Sensorites from the B&M Exclusive Character Options Doctor Who range for 2021 was provided to us free of charge by Character Options and their PR team. The views and content in this review remain our own. We thank Character for allowing us early access to review this set. The 2021 Summer B&M exclusives features two new History of the Dalek Sets, and two new 3-Packs - and it is one of these, The Sensorites, that we are reviewing here. My son is a huge Doctor Who fan and he has also played with and explored the figures and his comments are included in the review for a child's perspective on the set. He even did his research by watching The Sensorites DVD ahead of the figures arriving. The three packs have now moved to a true story-based theme and while the packaging style remains consistent with the blue & silver design of previous releases, there are subtle changes including the card back which is now a diorama image from the episode. We also get a write-up of the episode on the back of the box. I still stand by my usual feedback that these backgrounds go too far in covering the entire story rather than being a hook to get collectors to go and explore the story for themselves. 'The Sensorites' (1964) The TARDIS materialises onboard an Earth Ship and find the crew seemingly dead. Their initial concern for the crew changes though as they seem to revive but remain groggy. It seems they are suffering from telepathic interference from a telepathic species called the Sensorites that hail from a nearby planet called the Sense Sphere. The TARDIS lock is removed by the Sensorites, but Susan communicates with them and finds the aliens are merely being cautious as they feat an attack by the humans. Ian falls ill and the Sensorites say it's the same illness affecting them. Traveling to the Sense Sphere the Doctor seeks to cure the illness to which the Sensorites and Ian have succumbed but finds it is caused by deliberate poisoning. The situation is then made worse by the political maneuvering of the Sensorite Administrator who seeks to discredit the TARDIS crew in an effort to isolate the Sensorites. As you unpack the box we find the three figures with a white cotton tie around the arms which are not easy to untie so will need to be cut. They have then used a clear elasticated tie around the legs which is no immediately obvious. It can mark the paint if you pull the figures out without cutting this strap. The set features two accessories that are taped in place. The card back is a gorgeous recreation, in colour, of the ship interior from the story and while it has plain cardboard sides - it is not too far away from being a workable display piece for your figures. "The only thing that really matters is that they look like the Sensorites, and they do. The head sculpt is amazing and the feet are rounded like the episode. The addition of the communicator is cool, it looks like it's been glued on. We start with the Sensorite Elder who looks to use the body from the Axon figure from 2013, cast in a blue base colour. The circular communication disk has been added to the body and a silver line painted up and over the shoulder to recreate the cable - the disc is not removable. The head is brand new and is a good recreation of the on-screen costume with a large beard and bald head. With the Sensorite Elder painted with a deeper skin tone to the other Sensorite and a grey/white beard texture. The lower legs and screen-accurate circular feet are also new and have a touch of weathering with some brown paint applied around the edges. I can't place the hands as they differ from the Axon and may also be new. "The only thing that really matters is that they look like the Sensorites, and they do. The head sculpt is amazing and the feet are rounded like the episode. The addition of the communicator is cool, it looks like it's been glued on The body is that of the axon with new hands, head, and feet. A communicator is stuck on the axon body. It is a good match to the attire of the Sensorites" The sash is an extra piece added to the figure in black plastic. In the intro video for the series, Al Dewar indicated the sash was something that could be removed and could allow you to adjust your figures to make other Sensorites like the Second Elder. I can confirm the production figure does not allow this as the sash is one piece and it cant be removed without taking off the head and possibly the arms. Having re-watched Al's video, I see he is potentially talking about you carefully cutting away parts of the sash rather than it being removable as I had first thought. The 1st Doctor figure uses the existing standard William Hartnell body with varying colours added to differentiate from previous releases. The trousers are checked brown, similar to the 13 Doctors Boxset, while the waistcoat is a cream colour with neatly applied vertical lining. The tie is blue and is less neatly painted with some bleeding onto the white collar of the shirt. The likeness to Hartnell is good within the aesthetics of the line and the figure fits in with all the previous releases. The facial paintwork is neat and crisp, and the added paint makes this one of the best Hartnell figures to date in terms of overall head execution. The costume is perhaps not exact to what Hartnell wore in The Sensorites. If you look at coloured images from the serial, the costume in the Sensorites was very much that of the original Hartnell figure. While the argument is either to release a screen accurate Doctor, but something a number of collectors would have. Or to do what they've done and create a look for the Doctor that is different but not necessarily episode-specific. The generic Sensorite uses the exact same body, head, hands, and feet as the Elder with the same blue tone uniform and silver communication disc. The head is given a lighter skin tone and there is more beige in the beard to differentiate the two. There is also some trim added around the sleeves in a dark blue. The three rings indicate this is Warrior Sensorite so is essentially an army builder if you want to go down that route. "The two Sensorites are slightly different, the elder is a tan colour and the normal is much paler with a darker beard to the elder whose hair is white and grey. There looks to be a brown wash on the feet possibly recreating mud. And the wire for the communicator is a painted silver line" The two Sensorites are provided with their paddle-like weapons which are cast in silver plastic and are designed to fit in the right hand of each figure. The handle is perhaps a touch soft and is easily bent so be careful when posing these. While the Elder never uses these on screen, it is good to have the choice by including two in the set. Articulation on the Who line has always been around the 16 point mark and has always used rudimentary pinned joints rather and all three of these figures follow the same principles although the two Sensorites have an extra two joints because of how their new feet pieces have been added and this then allowing an ankle rotation. All of the joints work well, and do what they are designed to do - but like most Who figures you are a little limited to neutral stances and arm gestures. The Sensorites can raise and point their weapons or hold out their open left hand as a gesture. Considering the Who line is now 16 years old, it is fantastic to see both Character and B&M developing new sets and figures and doing it in a way that cleverly recycles older figures and therefore keeps the sets affordable at around the £20 price point for 3-figures (pricing not yet confirmed). "Overall the Sensorites are good and screen accurate. I like the set very much and cant wait for the others" I love that the 3-packs have now evolved fully to Story Specific sets with the background and the synopsis on the reverse and for The Sensorite set itself, there is little to criticise at the price point and it demonstrates the passion and knowledge of Al and the Character team to bring us these 1960's aliens over the potentially more recognisable Dalek & Cyberman variants. Well done Character and well done B&M for continuing to support the line.

Iron Studios have announced a further release in their 1/10 Art Scale statue series for The Mandalorian. The new piece features Mando on a speeder bike as he returns from retrieving Boba Fett's armour from Cobb Vanth in Season 2. The statue features Mando on the bike, which is then loaded up not only with Grogu (Baby Yoda) in the side saddlebag, but also with the Boba Fett armour and jet pack. It sits on a Tatooine dessert diorama base. The statue is a Q2 release for 2022. Riding a speeder bike, thus raising a cloud of dust, the Mandalorian bounty hunter crosses the arid desert of the planet Tatooine carrying in his luggage the recovered armor, helmet, and jetpack, that once belonged to another legendary hunter, the feared and iconic Boba Fett. They are attached to the outer left and rear parts of the vehicle. Inside a bag, attached to the back of the Speeder, is little Grogu (Baby Yoda), the child that Mando protects and who is apparently enjoying the high speed. Faithfully portrayed on both the speeder bike and the characters, Iron Studios presents its statue "The Mandalorian on Speederbike Deluxe Art Scale 1/10 - The Mandalorian", inspired by a scene from Chapter 09: The Marshal, from the second season of The Mandalorian series. With the mission to deliver Grogu to his people, the Jedi, the bounty hunter, Din Djarin, also known as Mando, goes on a search for other Mandalorians, as he believes they will be able to help him. In the small town of Mos Pelgo, on Tatooine, he meets the local sheriff named Cobb Vanth. The sheriff wears the legendary Boba Fett's armor, purchased from Jawas collectors in the desert, and in exchange for Vanth's armor, Mando agrees to help kill a Krayt dragon, an underground creature that attacks the local population. After killing the monster and retrieving Fett's armor, Din Djarin resumes his mission. Another emblematic statue in Deluxe format from The Mandalorian line by Iron Studios and already available for Pre-Order, featuring the two most beloved protagonists of the series, in one of the most emblematic vehicles of the Star Wars saga, adding to the collection that brings other pieces already revealed and derived from the most striking scenes, with its main characters from a galaxy far, far away. The Mandalorian on Speederbike Deluxe Art Scale 1/10 - The Mandalorian Features: - Limited edition - Based on original references - Made in polystone - *(may contain parts in resin, polystone, PVC, metal and fabric) - Hand painted - Product dimensions: 7 in (H) x 17.7 in (W) x 6.3 in (D) - Product Weight: 2.4 lbs - MSRP: USD 319,99 (American US Dollars) - Release schedule: Second quarter of 2022 If you are reading this via a 3rd party website that is importing our newsfeed, please come and visit us directly and give us a follow on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.

The next release in the Iron Studios 1/10 Art Scale statue line for The Mandalorian has been revealed as the Dark Trooper, as seen in the finale of Season 2. The statue features the Dark Trooper on a semi-circular plinth base, and includes two interchangeable arm options of the Trooper - one with a blaster and one without. The statue can be preordered now with a release date scheduled for Q2 2022. A figure covered in shining black armor is aboard Imperial Officer Moff Gideon's space cruiser, directing his red photoreceptor eyes towards his objective, wielding a large blaster rifle and ready to fire with precision at any target. Iron Studios thus presents its statue of the fearsome "Dark Trooper BDS Art Scale 1/10 - The Mandalorian - Iron Studios", one of the most efficient and powerful Imperial combat droids. Just as seen in the second season of The Mandalorian series, a spin-off from Star Wars on the Disney+ streaming channel. The first original Dark Troopers were not combat droids, but cyborg clone troopers, with over 70% of their body parts replaced by mechanical components. The Dark Trooper project saw the human side within them as a weakness, so in its third generation, it created advanced battle droids endowed with a military infantry exoskeleton. Similar to the armor of the Stormtroopers, they carried powerful weaponry with rockets at their feet, with extreme strength and flexibility. The Dark Troopers, responsible for the kidnapping on the planet Tython of the child named Grogu (Baby Yoda), took him aboard Gideon's ship, where an entire platoon of lethal robotic soldiers was kept in a cargo compartment. An almost insurmountable obstacle for the Mandalorian Din Djarin (Mando) and his allies in his mission to rescue Grogu. The Dark Troopers were only defeated because the powerful Jedi Master Luke Skywalker helped them. Unveiled firsthand in the Sideshow Con virtual event, a must-have for Star Wars fans and collectors, the statue has two pairs of interchangeable hands, giving you the option of different ways to display. The collector can even choose to purchase more than one figure to create a troop of Dark Troopers to join the other pieces of Iron Studios' The Mandalorian line already announced, and with many more to come. Dark Trooper BDS Art Scale 1/10 - The Mandalorian Features: - Limited edition - Based on original references - Made in polystone - *(may contain parts in resin, polystone, PVC, metal and fabric) - Hand painted - Includes 2 pairs of interchangeable arms - Product dimensions: 9.4 (H) x 5.9 (W) x 5.5 (D) - Product Weight: 1.7 lbs - MSRP: USD 129,99 (American US Dollars) - Release schedule: Second quarter of 2022 If you are reading this via a 3rd party website that is importing our newsfeed, please come and visit us directly and give us a follow on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.
